This hardy, NZ native grass is also perfect for wetland areas, swampy sites, and anywhere with heavy soils. Carex ternaria is favoured for its foliage, tidy form, and versatility.

Carex ternaria care and maintenance

Carex ternaria is a hardy, NZ-native sedge that grows best in moist, well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade. It is ideal for damp forest margins, stream banks, and naturalistic plantings.

Divide clumps every few years to rejuvenate growth and maintain plant vigour.
